India vs England, 4th ODI

It has been a fulfiling day's cricket here. The Indian side we saw in the ODIs in England had the fire in the belly, but probably did not seize their moments. But at home, the tables have truly turned on the visitors as India have displayed a ruthlessness which will surely please their fans. England will look to win the last ODI in Kolkata and hope to restore some pride. As far as this match is concerned, that's all we have. Thank you for logging into our coverage. Keep smiling and have a good night. Tada

Suresh Raina: I tried to play my natural game, but the ball did not come onto the bat. Me and Virat spoke to each other and looked to rotate the strike. The opposition will be frustrated as we have won 4 games on the trot. All the players are young, the energy on the field is bound to be good. All the bowlers bowled really well, I am extremely happy with their performance

Suresh Raina is the Man of the Match for his innings of 80(62).

Dhoni: They got off to a very good start. I thought they would get 270-280. But the spinners restricted them and the pacers did well at the end. The youngsters in the side are good fielders and this one looks like a very good unit. We have really improved as a fielding side. Varun Aaron looked good and in these conditions he will be a handful. We will try our best to make it 5-0, but I am satisfied with the performance. We need to play well in the fifth game, nothing comes easy

Cook: We fell short of a good target again. The top order got in, but got out at the wrong time. Once you get in, you need to make it big in these conditions. We started well but kept losing consistent wickets. We are not performing to our potential. We have 1 match left in Kolkata and would like to end on a winning note

The Kohli-Raina partnership of 131 is the highest 4th wicket stand for India at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. The pair went past the unforgettable Dhoni-Gambhir stand in the WC 2011 finals.

It was not that stiff a target for an Indian batting lineup brought up on such tracks. The performance of the England bowlers in the initial overs was really commendable. They conceded only 25 runs in the first ten overs. For Rahane, this match was a horror and he toiled away to 20 off 37 balls. Considering that this was his home ground, better things were expected from him. But once he got out, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina ensured that there were no more hiccups. They picked the singles and doubles regularly and once the target looked to be in reach, launched an attack which stunned the Englishmen. Kohli has to be praised for his maturity, he played the sheet anchor role to perfection. In the end, Dhoni came into the middle and polished off a few boundaries to seal the win. As mentioned earlier, Finn was the pick of the bowlers, but he had practically no support from the others.

The image of the day, Finn and Kohli are walking back to the pavilion together. Good that they choose to keep the hostilities on the field. Finn was outstanding in both his spells. Apart from Raina who took him apart from a few runs, he was almost unplayable. But a mature innings from Kohli and an aggressive knock from Raina meant that England were out of the game even though they had India in a spot of bother after picking up the openers early. They put together a stand of 131 off 113 balls.

9.4 Finn to Virat Kohli, 1 run, full but this time on the middle stump, Virat Kohli gets forward and pushes it to mid on. The mid on is at the edge of the circle and that allows the batsmen to jog across

Virat Kohli, right handed bat, comes to the crease

7.4 Finn to Gambhir, out Bowled!! Finn gets his second wicket. It was angled across Gambhir who once again played away from his body. He was looking to drive on the up and gets a thick inside edge which crashes into his stumps. India are in a spot of bother, the run rate is not that good and they have lost 2 wickets. Gambhir b Finn 1(6)

Finn to Gambhir, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

7.3 Finn to Gambhir, no run, yorker outside off, Gambhir digs it on the off side. Finn on his follow through runs across the pitch and does well to field it

7.2 Finn to Rahane, 1 run, Rahane will consider himself unlucky. This fuller delivery was played in the gap between cover and mid off, but Cook at mid off does well to dive to his left to keep the batsmen down to a single

7.1 Finn to Gambhir, 1 run, angled across Gambhir, the left hander square drives it past the backward point fielder for a single.

5.5 Finn to Gambhir, no run, just back of a length pitching on around middle and leg, Gambhir defends it off the backfoot. He was setting to play the pull but ended up defending at the last moment.

5.4 Finn to Gambhir, no run, good length delivery on the stumps, Gambhir gets forward to defend. Good pace on that one.

Gautam Gambhir, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Dulhe Raja Gautam Gambhir arrives at the crease.

5.3 Finn to Parthiv Patel, out Bowled!! PP was looking solid, but the pressure of playing dot balls has got to him. A good length on the stumps, Parthiv Patel looks to flick across the line and the ball escapes between bat and pad to crash into middle and off stump. Disappointing for his fans, he has failed to make it big in this match as well. Parthiv Patel b Finn 8(20)

Finn to Parthiv Patel, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

5.2 Finn to Parthiv Patel, no run, back of a length delivery outside off, Parthiv Patel punches it off the backfoot. Mut be really frustrating for him, he has timed almost every stroke, but most of them have been straight to the fielders.

5.1 Finn to Rahane, 1 run, good length delivery outside off, Rahane gets forward, taps it to cover and takes off for a single. Bairstow at point charges in, but fails to collect the ball.

4.6 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, no run, shorter outside off, Parthiv Patel looks to cut that and misses. Sourav Ganguly on air recognises that he has missed out on a boundary, the cut was Dada's favorite shot.

4.5 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, no run, shorter delivery on the body, Parthiv Patel does well to duck under it. But he hung his bat out like a periscope

4.4 Bresnan to Rahane, 3 runs, straighter delivery on the pads, Rahane flicks it from the middle stump. Samit Patel at midwicket does well to chase and stop it before the ropes, but sends in a poor throw. A better one might have had PP short of the crease

4.3 Bresnan to Rahane, no run, swinging away from outside off, Rahane takes a step forward and pushes to cover

4.3 Bresnan to Rahane, wide, down the leg side, wide called

4.2 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, 1 run, good length delivery outside off, Parthiv Patel mistimes the drive just wide of mid off for a single

4.1 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, no run, PP is living dangerously here. Bresnan bowls the inswinger and gets it to move from a good length on middle, Parthiv Patel flicks it around the pads to midwicket

3.6 Finn to Rahane, no run, lovely shot from Rahane. It was fuller outside off and he drives it sweetly straight to the mid off fielder. That shot deserved a boundary.

3.5 Finn to Rahane, no run, back of a length delivery coming into Rahane who stays back and defends. He thinks about the single, but declines soon

3.4 Finn to Parthiv Patel, byes, 1 run, pitched a touch outside off, Parthiv Patel goes for a drive and misses as the ball keeps low. Kieswetter fumbles and the batsmen collect a single

3.3 Finn to Parthiv Patel, no run, wide outside off, Parthiv Patel comes on the front foot and pushes away from the body. He has timed it really well but placed it straight to cover point. He needs to be careful there are 2 slips in place

3.1 Finn to Rahane, 1 run, wide outside off, Rahane stays back and guides it to third man for a single

2.6 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, 2 runs, a touch back of a length outside off, Parthiv Patel hangs back and pushes it past the bowler who is visibly upset with that shot. PP hasn't got much power behind this one and they come back for the second as mid off runs after it and stops it well inside the boundary

2.5 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, no run, on a good length on the pads, Parthiv Patel flicks it away to midwicket

2.4 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, no run, short delivery onto Parthiv Patel's ribs, PP looks to play the pull shot which he did so well in England, but misses the ball. He grimaces in pain as the ball hits his ribs

2.3 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, no run, good length delivery angled across Parthiv Patel who lets it go to the keeper

2.2 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, 2 runs, fuller on middle and shaping in, Parthiv Patel flicks it just in front of the stumps. Bresnan has his hands up on his head as the batsmen come back for the second

2.1 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, no run, fuller outside off, Parthiv Patel presses forward and plays a front foot punch to cover. They think about the single, but the ball went quickly to the fielder

1.6 Finn to Parthiv Patel, 1 run, fuller on the pads, Parthiv Patel tucks it away to fine leg for a single. These two have given steady starts throughout this series.

1.5 Finn to Rahane, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off, Rahane stands tall and pushes it wide of backward point. The ball came nicely onto the bat and Rahane was in proper position to play that stroke. Third man comes across to field it

1.4 Finn to Rahane, leg byes, 2 runs, drifting down the leg side, it hits Rahane's pads and runs down to the fine leg area. The batsmen come back for the second

1.3 Finn to Parthiv Patel, 1 run, just a touch wide outside off, Parthiv Patel lets the ball hit his blade and guides it to third man fora single

1.2 Finn to Parthiv Patel, no run, fuller length delivery angled across the left handed Patel who stays in his crease and defends. Was a little over balanced while playing that one

1.1 Finn to Parthiv Patel, no run, bang on target right from the start, Parthiv Patel goes back and pushes this back of a length delivery to the midwicket fielder

Steven Finn, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

0.6 Bresnan to Rahane, no run, good start from Bresnan. Ends the over with a fullish delivery outside off, Rahane gets forward and defends it. The England bowlers need to do nothing extra, just sticking to the basics might do the trick.

0.5 Bresnan to Rahane, no run, full and too wide outside off, once again wide not given.

0.4 Bresnan to Rahane, no run, fuller outside off, Rahane lets this outswinger go through to the keeper

0.3 Bresnan to Rahane, no run, fuller outside off, Rahane lets it go through to the keeper. This one went straight after pitching

0.1 Bresnan to Parthiv Patel, 1 run, back of a length delivery shaping into Parthiv Patel who gets forward and taps it to cover. Takes off for a quick single

Parthiv Patel and Rahane are at the crease. Parthiv Patel is on strike. Bresnan will open the attack

Welcome back for the chase. A target of 220 should not be that difficult

Fittingly Aaron leads the Indian team off the field. The story of the innings has been the fantastic debut of Aaron. 3 wickets and all clean bowled. He bowled fast and straight and knocked over the English tail. Once again the familiar story continues for England - none of their batters going on to make a big score after getting in. The spinners did their job early on and then Aaron came to the party. Should be an easy chase for India. Will England show some spine with the ball? Will Meaker - reputedly the quickest English bowler going around outshine Aaron? Answers will be known in a short while. Do join us then.

46.1 Aaron to Bresnan, out Bowled!! Aaron cleans up the England tail and that's the end of the innings. Funnily he doesn't realise that he has bowled Bresnan initially and then sees the bails on the floor and smiles. He was getting the ball to reverse in appreciably and this one holds it's line ever so slightly. Pitched on off and Bresnan played inside the line of that short of length delivery and the ball just missed the outside edge to graze the off stump. The bails fall off in slow motion. India to chase 221 to go 4-0 up. Aaron finishes with 3/24. Fab debut.Bresnan b Aaron 45(45) [4s-6]

Aaron to Bresnan, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni certainly seemed impressed with Aaron after he took the last wicket. Had a smile and then a word with him. All the other Indians too rushed in and had a word. Nice to see.

45.2 Vinay Kumar to Finn, no run, full and fast. Straight too. On a yorker length. Finn digs it out to the right of Vinay Kumar.

45.1 Vinay Kumar to Bresnan, 1 run, hit down to long on to bring Finn on strike

44.6 Aaron to Finn, no run, nearly another one. Aaron produces another pin-point yorker which curved back in. Finn squeezes it out. Aaron has a stare and a smile at Finn. Super over from Aaron.

Steven Finn, right handed bat, comes to the crease

44.5 Aaron to Meaker, out Bowled!! Knocked im over at 140+ KMPH! Have India found a genuine fast bowler? Too early to say. But this fella has promise. Full. Fast. Straight. Reverse. Meaker misses. Aaron hits. Leg stump out of the ground. Aaron raises his arms in celebration. End of story. As simple as that. Meaker b Aaron 1(10)

44.4 Aaron to Meaker, no run, Kohli at mid wicket had Bresnan scuryying back into his crease with a dive. It was swung straight to Kohli and he tried to catch Bresnan napping. Kohli missed and Bresnan got back. Then gets up, dusts himself off and has a smile at Kohli. Good to see some friendly banter between the two.

44.3 Aaron to Meaker, no run, low full toss on off stump. Curving in, Meaker pushes it back with a closed face to the bowler

44.2 Aaron to Bresnan, 1 run, driven to cover. Would've been tight had Raina hit at the strikers end. He didn't and they escape.

44.1 Aaron to Bresnan, no run, not only can he get it to reverse in, but also take it away from the right-hander. Aaron bowls the other one which swings away from outside off. Beats Bresnan on the flashy drive.

44.1 Aaron to Meaker, 2 wides, slung down the leg side. Definite reverse for Aaron, but got the line wrong. Mahendra Singh Dhoni fumbled and they take an extra run

43.6 Vinay Kumar to Meaker, 1 run, yorker on off stump, dug out to long on to give Meaker his first runs in international cricket

43.5 Vinay Kumar to Meaker, no run, Meaker is trying too many shots and once again his weak attempt at a pull finds mid wicket

43.4 Vinay Kumar to Bresnan, 1 run, a one handed drive as Bresnan made room to go inside out. The ball flies wide of backward point.

43.3 Vinay Kumar to Bresnan, no run, full and on the stumps, Bresnan drives and Vinay Kumar slides to his left to stop

43.2 Vinay Kumar to Bresnan, FOUR!!, Vinay Kumar errs by bowling short. Fractionally short on the stumps and Bresnan shifts his weight back and pulls wide of deep square. Meaty blow. Some cheer for the English supporters who have come in to watch the game live

43.1 Vinay Kumar to Bresnan, no run, kept a bit low and Bresnan had to bring his bat down in time and does so. Pushing it out to the off side

Vinay Kumar [5.0-1-30-1] is back into the attack

42.6 Aaron to Meaker, no run, full and sliding down leg. Meaker missed the flick and it bounced off the pad towards backward point. WICKET MAIDEN for Aaron and he certainly bowled well in that over.

42.5 Aaron to Meaker, no run, reversing back in again. Meaker though covers the line of the ball and pushes it back to Aaron

42.4 Aaron to Meaker, no run, the frustration is now showing on Meaker. Tries to pull a short of length delivery outside off and is beaten for pace. Very unconvincing from Meaker.

42.3 Aaron to Meaker, no run, now beats him with a pacy seam up delivery that cuts away from outside off. Meaker slashes and misses. The ball thuds into MS' gloves.

42.2 Aaron to Meaker, no run, shades of Waqar in that delivery. Reverse swing was Waqar's best friend and Aaron too produces that delivery. Tailing in late and hits Meaker on the back leg. Meaker didn't know much about the ball and it almost rolled back onto the stumps. Aaron appealed for an LBW, but that was going well down leg.

Stuart Meaker, right handed bat, comes to the crease

42.1 Aaron to Borthwick, out Bowled!! 1st ODI wicket for Aaron and hopefully from an Indian view point, many more to come. This one was bowled at 141 KMPH and snuck through the crouching Borthwick's defences. Pitched on off and kept a bit low, sneaked through and hit off stump. Immediately Raina rushes in to ruffle Aaron's hair. Borthwick b Aaron 3(7)

Aaron to Borthwick, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

41.6 Raina to Bresnan, no run, flicked straight to the fielder at mid wicket

41.5 Raina to Bresnan, FOUR!!, Raina isn't happy with Varun. Parthiv didn't move too at short fine. It was a delicate glance to the left of Parthiv who didn't move or dive and then Aaron was watching Parthiv, didn't pick up the ball and retrieved it only after it crossed the ropes. Raina throws his hands up in frustration.

41.4 Raina to Bresnan, no run, pushed back to Raina who dives to his right and stops

41.3 Raina to Borthwick, 1 run, punched wide of a diving mid wicket. Only singles this over

41.1 Raina to Borthwick, 1 run, driven past a lunging Raina who went to his right, but couldn't stop it

Suresh Raina [1.0-0-8-0] is back into the attack

40.6 Aaron to Borthwick, 1 run, this one curved back in at pace and Borthwick had to bring his bat down in time and he did, turning it past mid wicket

40.5 Aaron to Bresnan, 1 run, almost yorker length on the stumps, Bresnan digs it out to long on. Aaron looks like a bowler who can bowl the full length consistently and get some reverse swing at the death. Encouraging signs for India

40.4 Aaron to Bresnan, no run, another back of a length delivery on off stump, Bresnan steers with an open face towards backward point. No chance of a single again

40.3 Aaron to Bresnan, no run, 139 KMPH from Aaron. Straight and fast on the stumps, Bresnan pushes to leg from the crease.

40.2 Aaron to Bresnan, FOUR!!, fraction too full and Bresnan cashes in with a clunky crunchy drive past a diving cover. Stand and crash from Bresnan. Immediately Mahendra Singh Dhoni goes up to Aaron and has a word. Good to see.

40.1 Aaron to Bresnan, no run, full and tailing back in at pace. Hint of reverse there. But it was outside leg and the ball dribbled to off via Bresnan's pads as he missed the flick

Varun Aaron [3.0-0-14-0] is back into the attack

39.6 Ashwin to Borthwick, no run, beaut! After the carrom ball, now gets the regulation off break going, Borthwick pushed at it and the ball ripped past the outside edge. Didn't know much about it. Borthwick all at sea. End of Ash for today!

39.5 Ashwin to Borthwick, no run, LSRK picked the carrom ball on air and it is the carrom ball. Spins in and hits Borthwick high on the pad even as he played down the wrong line. Too much spin. Too high. Asnani gets it right again.

Back over the wicket is Ashwin.

39.4 Ashwin to Borthwick, no run, flatter and pushed through outside off, Borthwick lets it go

Scott Borthwick, left handed bat, comes to the crease

A slip and a gully to the debutant - Borthiwck. He plays for Durham. From round the wicket comes Ashwin.

39.3 Ashwin to Samit Patel, out Caught by Virat Kohli at deep mid wicket!! Another good catch as it was coming out of the sun. Virat timing his leap to perfection to take it with both hands. Samit Patel connected well with the slog sweep, but this is a big ground and he needed to get some more on that. India continue to chip away at the wickets. Samit Patel c Virat Kohli b Ashwin 14(27)

Ashwin to Samit Patel, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

39.2 Ashwin to Bresnan, 1 run, Bresnan went for the full blooded pull and can only find deep mid wicket

38.5 Praveen Kumar to Bresnan, 5 wides, Horrendous ball from Praveen Kumar. Another 5 gifted runs for England. They have 10 from this over - only in terms of gifts. That would've been a wide even if there were another 10 stumps standing next to the three already there. Mahendra Singh Dhoni dived, but he needed to be Joel Garner+Tom Moody and Boyd Rankin combined to stop that. He is on the floor motionless, while Raina rushes in to have a word with Praveen Kumar. Praveen Kumar isn't impressed with himself too.

38.4 Praveen Kumar to Samit Patel, 1 run, Samit Patel smacks it without much timing to long on. Again it was full and on the stumps. Again Samit Patel backed away to hit through off.

38.3 Praveen Kumar to Samit Patel, no run, low full toss, Samit Patel backs away and can only find mid off with a limp drive

During the end of the over. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Raina and Ashwin had a word with the umpires. Samit Patel was standing very close to the umpire and Ashwin couldn't get around to save the single. Raina came up to Samit Patel and asked him to stand a little wide, to which he retaliated back. Raina wasn't impressed and that's when Bowden stepped in. Looks like things have been sorted and we are ready to go again.

37.6 Ashwin to Samit Patel, no run, slow and loopy delivery that turns towards leg stump, Samit Patel works it softly to leg. No chance of a quick single

37.5 Ashwin to Bresnan, 1 run, Bresnan backs away and punches to the same fielder at cover

37.4 Ashwin to Samit Patel, 1 run, Samit Patel tries to go inside out, but can only get it as far as Vinay Kumar at cover

37.1 Ashwin to Samit Patel, 1 run, slow and short on off, Samit Patel goes on the backfoot to punch to long on

36.6 Ravindra Jadeja to Bresnan, no run, that should have been put away. Sliding down leg and with no one deep on the on side, that was a boundary for the taking. Bresnan though finds backward square leg with a flick

36.5 Ravindra Jadeja to Samit Patel, 1 run, now makes room and goes inside out. Cover keeps it down to a single

36.4 Ravindra Jadeja to Samit Patel, no run, Samit Patel moves outside leg and then wrists an on drive straight to the fielder at mid on

36.3 Ravindra Jadeja to Bresnan, 1 run, intentionally chipped over a leaping Ravindra Jadeja. Well over him

36.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Bresnan, no run, good fielding from Ravindra Jadeja diving to his left and stopping a firm drive

36.1 Ravindra Jadeja to Bresnan, FOUR!!, no long on and no deep mid wicket and that's a safe shot. Bresnan getting forward and swinging across the line over mid wicket. Clean strike too as Bresnan picked it from the hand and smacked it

Ravindra Jadeja [9.0-0-35-2] is back into the attack

35.6 Ashwin to Samit Patel, no run, the toppie, on the stumps, pushed back to Ashwin

35.5 Ashwin to Bresnan, 1 run, a sharp single is taken to mid wicket

35.4 Ashwin to Samit Patel, 1 run, RJ didn't pick that out of the sun. He was standing with the sun peeping into his eyes and the hoick across the line from Samit Patel nearly found him. He takes it on the bounce.

35.3 Ashwin to Bresnan, 1 run, the carrom ball. Goes the other way - from middle to off. Bresnan didn't pick it and somehow pushed it away through the off side

35.2 Ashwin to Bresnan, no run, sharp turn for Ashwin, from outside off to leg, hits Bresnan on the body as he missed a flick

35.1 Ashwin to Samit Patel, 1 run, turning into Samit Patel, who goes on the backfoot and punches to long on

Ravichandran Ashwin [7.0-0-28-2] is back into the attack

The batting PP is mandatory now. Ash has the ball. A slip in place.

Drinks are on the field now. With England in a precarious position, they wouldn't want to take the batting power-play, but they have no other option now. It is now mandatory after this over. India would be looking to finish off the innings quickly. Maybe time for Aaron to come back and clean up the tail

Bairstow looked bemused after he was dismissed. Had a word with Samit Patel and seemed to be indicating that he didn't pick the ball. Or maybe he was asking Samit, how did that spin so much?

34.2 Virat Kohli to Samit Patel, no run, driven straight to the fielder at cover

34.1 Virat Kohli to Bresnan, 1 run, punched past Samit Patel and they take a single

33.6 Raina to Samit Patel, no run, superb stop by Raina. Diving full length to his right and getting a hand to prevent the single

33.5 Raina to Samit Patel, no run, flicked to square leg

33.4 Raina to Bresnan, leg byes, 1 run, a loud shout for LBW, but that pitched outside leg and turned in to hit Bresnan on the pads. Bresnan missed the flick and Raina thought he had his man. But Asnani gets it right. Too much spin - would've gone down leg as well

33.3 Raina to Bresnan, FOUR!!, another bad ball. Short and wide outside off again. Much more emphatic shot from Bresnan. Rocking back and cutting powerfully wide of backward point. 2 boundaries in three balls for Bresnan and England have suddenly taken on Raina.

33.2 Raina to Bresnan, no run, spinning back in sharply, Bresnan goes on the backfoot and defends

Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have a chat after that. Still no slip though.

33.1 Raina to Bresnan, FOUR!!, England will take whatever they get at this stage. Flat and outside off, Bresnan lashes at it, a thick edge goes through the vacant slip. If there was a slip, would've been a dolly, instead Bresnan gets a much needed boundary

Suresh Raina, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

32.6 Virat Kohli to Bresnan, 1 run, another thick inside edge onto the pads as Bresnan looked to clip that leg stump ball through the leg side. Takes a single to short fine

32.5 Virat Kohli to Bresnan, no run, slower leg cutter outside off, Bresnan waits and waits, before dabbing it down to backward point

32.4 Virat Kohli to Samit Patel, 1 run, down leg, Samit Patel helps himself to a single through square leg

32.3 Virat Kohli to Samit Patel, no run, stump to stump stuff from Virat Kohli, Samit Patel is happy to push it back to him

32.2 Virat Kohli to Bresnan, 1 run, Bresnan shows the full face of the bat and punches it down to long on

32.1 Virat Kohli to Bresnan, no run, a firm drive from Bresnan, but finds cover at the edge of the circle

31.6 Ravindra Jadeja to Bresnan, 1 run, short and spinning away, punched to sweeper cover to get off the mark

Tim Bresnan, right handed bat, comes to the crease

31.5 Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, out Bowled!! Peach! Bairstow had no clue about that delivery. Ravindra Jadeja certainly deserved that wicket after pinging Bairstow down in the over with tight accurate stuff. This one pitches around middle and turns across Bairstow who didn't cover the line of the ball nor did he thrust his front pad out as a second form of defence. The ball curved away, after initially dipping on Bairstow, then passed the outside edge and hit the top of off stump. Dream delivery for a left-arm spinner and the crowd go wild. Bishen Singh Bedi would've approved. England in a shambles. Enter Bresnan - one Yorkshireman to replace another. Bairstow b Ravindra Jadeja 9(19) [4s-1]

Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

31.4 Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, slow turn and Bairstow goes on the backfoot to watchfully defend

31.3 Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, superb stuff from RJ diving to his left and cutting off a certain single after Bairstow came down the wicket to drill it

29.4 Ravindra Jadeja to Bopara, out Lbw!! There were glum faces in the England dressing room before that ball and the numbers will only grow after that. What a poor stroke from Bopara under the circumstances. England's get out of jail shot is the sweep, but Bopara gets himself into jail after he misses a straight delivery on the stumps. He had pre-meditated the shot and missed it. Pretty plumb even though Bopara tried to deceive the umpire by showing his bat - indicating that he may have got an edge. Asnani is a trigger happy umpire who likes giving LBWs, but that was too plumb even for him not to give it out. End of Bopara and England in a hole - haven't we seen that before in this series? Bopara lbw b Ravindra Jadeja 8(19)

Virat Kohli, right-arm medium, comes into the attack

27.6 Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, left alone to a ball outside off. Three successive dots after a boundary. That's where England have failed miserably in this ODI series. They seem to get the boundary and then play a succession of dots - which is playing right into India's hands. You won't see that when India is batting and the scoreline in the series rightly reflects that.

27.5 Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, goes on the backfoot and pushes without any timing to cover

27.4 Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, no run, much better. Straight and on the stumps, Bairstow pushes it back to Ravindra Jadeja

27.3 Ravindra Jadeja to Bairstow, FOUR!!, down leg and Bairstow's top edged sweep goes away to the fine leg fence. Short fine was in and Bairstow will pick up a boundary that should ease the pressure on his side. Wrong line from Ravindra Jadeja though

Jonathan Bairstow, right handed bat, comes to the crease

A slip and a leg slip in place for Bairstow.

26.4 Ashwin to Pietersen, out Caught by (sub)Manoj Tiwary at deep mid wicket!! That is a ripper of a catch. He made it look so easy. That was slog swept powerfully and seemed heading for the boundary, but Tiwary running to his right was airborne even as he clasped it without any fuss. He then went to ground and threw the ball back nonchalantly. The umpires were checking for the no-ball, but Ashwin was fine. Pietersen still has to wait for his ODI ton - he hasn't got one in three years.Pietersen c (sub)Manoj Tiwary b Ashwin 41(61) [4s-3 6s-1]

Ashwin to Pietersen, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Is lucky that he didn't edge it. Sourav is right on air, when he says that the English are making ordinary deliveries look great.

25.5 Vinay Kumar to Pietersen, FOUR!!, the pressure releasing boundary arrives. Low full toss that curves away, Pietersen had an almighty swish at that and toe ended it down to the third man fence. The man was too square and it ran away. Vinay Kumar has a grimace on his face

25.4 Vinay Kumar to Bopara, 1 run, this one is pinged on middle stump line, Bopara wrists it down to long on

25.3 Vinay Kumar to Bopara, no run, another play and a miss! This time from the crease. Very good bowling from Vinay Kumar. He is getting the ball to wobble in the air and then move off the deck. Pitches on off stump and moves away, Bopara gets forward to defend, then tries to open the face and run it down to third man and misses. Top stuff from Vinay Kumar

Cook: We will bat first. We will try and win the last two games. Meaker and Borthwick come into the team. It is all about fine tuning the mistakes. India is a powerful batting line-up.

England have won the toss and elected to bat

Pitch Report: There is a good grass covering on this pitch. There will be some moisture on this pitch at the start. It is well rolled in and hard. There will be good carry for the bowlers, reckons Saurav Ganguly. There will be some extra bounce on offer due to the soil and there will be something for the spinners. Dew will not have much of an impact.

Andy Flower has already stated that England might make a couple of changes as well. Ian Bell may finally get a go while Stuart Meaker, reputed to be the fastest bowler in England might make his debut. Scott Borthwick did very well in the practise match against Hyderabad XI and might get a go on a spin friendly Mumbai track.

India might do a little bit of experimentation. Umesh Yadav has been injured and will be replaced by either Varun Aaron who has warmed the benches ever since the England tour or Sreenath Aravind. There is also a possibility of Rahul Sharma replacing Ravichandran Ashwin. Will Manoj Tiwary get a chance? If he does, it might be at the cost of Parthiv Patel.

Hello, and welcome to Super Sunday. We have the Rugby World Cup final kicking off, the Manchester derby later in the evening, South Africa and Australia lock horns in Port Elizabeth and India are back to the venue that brought them joy in winning their 2nd World Cup. The series has been done and dusted, England will play for pride. India will play for dominance. The Wankhede will watch its stars back in action, sans its favourite hero, Sachin Tendulkar who will miss his first ever India match at his home turf. Stay tuned for the toss and team updates..

Preview by Saurabh Somani

It's been an interesting few days between matches in the India-England series. The action on field will resume with the fourth ODI, but the sound-bytes off-field have caused almost as much drama. While MS Dhoni took a not-so-subtle swipe at some of the behaviour by the England team on the field, the reaction from the England camp was all about how they took fierce pride in their game and that there was nothing really wrong with the players' behaviour on field. As England have discovered though, the bluster does not really work if you can't back it up with results on the field. It did show vast improvement in the third ODI, but still wasn't enough to get them over the line.

England: They need to continue on the improvement curve they established in the third ODI, if they want to avoid a white-wash in the series. Most of the work needs to be done by the bowlers, who haven't been impressive in any of the games so far as a collective force. Graeme Swann and Steve Finn have been the best of the lot, but each has had a match with no wickets and their economy rates of 5.21 and 5.75 aren't eye-popping either. The worrying aspect for England is that all other bowlers have even higher economy rates. The batsmen too, haven't been altogether free of blame, even when they put on 298 in the 3rd ODI. Given the flat nature of the pitch, and the eventual result, 320 should have been the score achieved especially since England didn't lose too many wickets.

India: India have given as good an illustration of home advantage as England had given them a few short weeks ago so far in the series. Two comprehensive wins and one win that demanded some character have already handed them the series. Although a white-wash in ODIs will not really be equivalent to the white-wash India suffered in the England Test series, it will surely go some way towards re-establishing India's credibility as a powerful cricket team - which had taken a bit of a beating. Even if the wins come at home, the mere act of winning - and winning well - reinforces belief in team and fan. India have been good overall in the series and even with batsmen and bowlers both firing, the most pleasing aspect will surely be the raised fielding standards exhibited by the hosts. It may not have been anticipated, but along with out-batting and out-bowling England, India have also out-fielded them so far.

Team Compositions:

Both teams could possibly look at making some changes to their playing eleven, given that the series is already decided. For England, the clamour to include Ian Bell in the eleven is increasing daily, with many not able to fathom why he wasn't part of it in the first place. Jade Dernbach's less than sterling show has also led to calls to include Stuart Meaker. For India, Umesh Yadav is out with an injury and Abhimanyu Mithun has been drafted in to the squad. The man who most will be expecting to replace Yadav however, is Varun Aaron who can match Yadav for pace and has created quite a buzz around him with his pace. Whether that buzz can be justified or not, is something that only an on-field performance will show.

Final Word:

The venue is the Wankhede - scene of India's World Cup triumph, and the weather forecast is for bright, sunny skies. England will need some of that sun to shine on their luck if they are to compete. Of all the stats in the series so far, perhaps the most illustrative is that England have only one bowler who has an economy rate of less than 5.50, while India have only one whose economy rate is more than 5.50.
